FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: If I arrive before my friends can I hold the camp spot next to me for them?

only way to be camped next to your friends is to come through the processing line at the same time.

Q: Are we allowed to bring shade structures or patio/beach umbrellas into the music bowl?
A: SNWMF does not permit shade structures (e.g., pop-up tents, patio/beach umbrellas
